Kirkus Reveiw's BEST OF 2010 Lists

Chicken Spaghetti said it best: The Kirkus Review went crazy this year.  They produced not one best of 2010 list, and not two (like one for chapter books and one for picture books), but FIFTEEN best of lists.  There are some real gems which I will try to get my hands on to review in the coming weeks:

Best Non-Fiction:














Best Picture Books That Make You Think:













Best Children's Books: Celebrating Friends & Family for Young Readers & Listeners:














And there are many many more: check out the whole list. Do you see any of your favorites from 2010?

Gardenia! Thanks for commenting. This is my favorite, by far: Saint Nicholas: The Story of the Real Santa

Of all the books on all the lists of the best of 2010 that I've seen, I'm most interested in reading "A Sick Day For Amos McGee"

A 2010 book our library got that I haven't seen on any lists, but I really enjoyed (being an city girl transplanted in NE, myself) was Jane Yolen & David Small's "Elsie's Bird".
